    Reusse: Timberwolves owners’ plan for development around a new arena seems like a very suburban idea

    When they're finally done with 494 ... won't it not even add any capacity? Wasn't it about removing/upgrading bridges and adding an HOV lane? Makes me think of when they replaced the flyover bridge for going from 35W North to 94 West (to the tunnel) ... the size of those steel beams ... the...

    Coldplay’s Kiss Cam Exposes Alleged Affair of top Astronomer officials

    Is this whole thing fake? Can't trust anything that comes from the internet.

    https://www.moneywiselaw.com/grand-canyon-university-nonprofit-appeal/ GCU was founded as a nonprofit Christian institution date back to its founding in 1949. However, financial distress led the university to convert to a for-profit model in 2004, backed by a group of private investors and...

    Another similar case study is New Prague. Eyeballing the Scott county map, it appears that just over half of NP is in Scott. Both NP and Northfield are in the mid 40's miles driving distance to Target Field. Unlike ElkoNM, which since it is right on I-35 is only 32mi driving distance. So that...

    Over 40mi driving distance to Target Field? I can't do it

    25 is a convenient highway in the West, as it goes from Monticello mostly north-south down to just west of Waconia. I'm not sure if I would label Monti, Buffalo, Watertown Meyer, Waconia as suburbs. But census folks may disagree

    While very imperfect, the governemnt defines the (core) Metro Statistical Area by county, which includes Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, Anoka, Carver, Scott, and Dakota. Does not include Wright, in the core. But again, that's certainly debatable. I'm sure the farthest parts of Carver, Scott...

    ESPN: Greg Sankey says SEC, Big Ten still differ on best CFP model

    I suppose you're correct that the seeding will still come down to the final rankings. Can't get around that

    Update on East River Flats Tailgating

    Fair Grounds (except you're always screwed over for the Labor Day weekend first home game) or splurge for a parking pass off a 3rd party selling/buying site, in one of the lots by the stadium for the "real" tailgating atmosphere

    ESPN: Greg Sankey says SEC, Big Ten still differ on best CFP model

    I do think we will see the first two rounds go to all home sites (with the caveat that the home team is allowed to move to the game to a neutral site if they would like to do that for whatever reason, say they want a bigger stadium) Would like one semi-final to be permanently the Rose Bowl on...

    I wonder if STMA is the largest public school that is still considered in the metro that is the farthest from downtown Mpls or downtown St Paul? Guessing Lakeville, Shakopee, Forest Lake, Centennial, and Andover would be the other candidates EDIT: quick check of the driving distance between...

    New NIL Enforcement Targets Collectives, deals must serve ‘valid business purpose’

    A lot of this will come down to if the SCORE Act, or some form of it, becomes law. My guess

    Great question, that I would like to know too! They basically have the same business (Christian for profit, large online diploma base) as Liberty, don't they?

    The Gophers need to get into the statue-erecting business too outside of Huntington Bank Stadium.

    It's DIII football. I mean that in a literal sense. The Pioneer League was founded by schools that were DI in basketball but DIII in football (this used to be allowed) and were too successful in DIII football, namely U of Dayton. So DIII kicked them out. Those couple handful of schools started...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    I believe the new PAC and now this move will both be at the start of the 2026 season. Grand Canyon was supposed to move to the Mountain West then, too, but now they suddenly moved up to this year to the great consternation of the schools leaving the MWC for the PAC.

    32 is an arbitrary number. I saw 6A should only be the biggest 24 or so schools in the state. Why am I wrong? You could drop Maroon, Moorhead, and Eagan ... then it would seem more reasonable. Maybe one or two more?

    ESPN: Greg Sankey says SEC, Big Ten still differ on best CFP model

    The reason I like the 4-4-2-2... whatever is simply this: it minimizes the role of the selection committee. I don't like the idea of them getting to pick 11 teams out of 16. Disagree? Don't care about that? People have tried analyzing the difference systems via past rankings, but to me that...

    New NIL Enforcement Targets Collectives, deals must serve ‘valid business purpose’

    Broadly I think you've got three categories going forward at the moment when you talk about (third-party) NIL deals outside of rev sharing: 1) actual NIL deals for the player to endorse a product for a legitimate for-profit company who is trying to use that player's NIL in advertising 2) rich...
